Gii

GiiModule is a module that provides Web-based code generation capabilities.

To use GiiModule, you must include it as a module in the application configuration like the following:

return array(
    ......
    'modules'=>array(
        'gii'=>array(
            'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',
            'password'=>***choose a password***
        ),
    ),
)

Because GiiModule generates new code files on the server, you should only use it on your own development machine. To prevent other people from using this module, it is required that you specify a secret password in the configuration. Later when you access the module via browser, you will be prompted to enter the correct password. By default, GiiModule can only be accessed by localhost. You may configure its {@link ipFilters} property if you want to make it accessible on other machines. With the above configuration, you will be able to access GiiModule in your browser using the following URL: http://localhost/path/to/index.php?r=gii If your application is using path-format URLs with some customized URL rules, you may need to add the following URLs in your application configuration in order to access GiiModule:

'components'=>array(
    'urlManager'=>array(
        'urlFormat'=>'path',
        'rules'=>array(
            'gii'=>'gii',
            'gii/'=>'gii/',
            'gii//'=>'gii//',
            ...other rules...
        ),
    )
)

You can then access GiiModule via: http://localhost/path/to/index.php/gii
